Do a search and find the factory shop manual, it has some good trouble shooting info using a voltmeter and the diag connector its a white/clear connector 6 pins 4 wires, right next to the pressure sensor underhood on the passengers shock tower I believe.

In the FSM there is also a part that describes using a screwdriver to disengage the motor to allow manual use of the roof incase the motor ever locks up or whatever the case may be. Make sure that is adjusted properly.

I had to drive 3 hrs once in the cold (Fall time frame) because my motor quit working. This was before I found out how to lower the top manually. I got some VERY funny looks on the interstate !
